*Please note that Sailor Moon does not belong to me in any way! The only
characters I made up are Astrum and the mysterious stranger.
It was a beautiful spring day in Tokyo; the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and they blanketed everyone's senses with their fragrance. Usagi couldn't have been happier as she skipped home. "No detention, no more Negaverse, Mamoru loves me, and I'm going shopping!" she said out loud. "This day couldn't get any better!" Just then, she saw a flash of orange out of the corner of her eye. She whirled around, and a beautiful orange cat was sitting there, watching her. It had striking green eyes, and something that gave Usagi chills. It bore the crescent bald spot on its forehead! 'But Luna and Artemis are the only guardian cats. This must be a hallucination!' she thought. 'There were only two royal cats on the moon. This is crazy!' And as quickly as it appeared, it ran down an alley, leaving a bewildered Usagi in the street.
~*~*~*~*~*
"You saw WHAT?!" yelled Rei. "Usagi you meatball head! You must have eaten too much candy. Hello! Luna and Artemis are the only royal cats!" "But I know what I saw, Rei!" replied Usagi. "I'm tellin' ya, some freaky stuff is going on." Just then she thought, 'Maybe Rei is right. Maybe it was just a candy OD.'
~*~*~*~*~*
By the next morning, Usagi had forgotten all about the cat, and was walking to school. She heard a tinkling sound, and a voice whispered, "Serenity…" "Who's there?" Usagi shouted, and whirled around. Then she saw the familiar flash of orange, which made her tremble, despite the 65-degree weather.
~*~*~*~*~*
It was lunchtime, and Usagi couldn't think about anything except the cat and the mysterious voice. 'They must be connected', she thought. "Hey girl, what's wrong?" called Ami. "You're never this quiet. Spill." So Usagi told her everything, and Ami immediately started punching calculations into her handy palm-sized Mercury computer. "ERROR--CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" it read. "Well Usagi, I think you're on to something here," said Ami.
~*~*~*~*~*
Little did they know, that the source of all this mystery was watching them at that precise moment. She was concealed in a tree, stroking her beautiful orange guardian cat. "Don't worry, Astrum. We've finally found Princess Serenity after all these years. Now, she and her Sailor Scouts will pay for our sadness and shame. Our revenge is close. Watch out Serenity…" she said as her tiara gleamed.
